Potential Health Benefits Beyond Weight Loss
In the fast-changing landscape of weight-loss trends, where social media continuously fuels the rise and fall of new approaches, a strikingly extreme regimen has recently taken the spotlight: the OMAD diet , short for One Meal A Day. This highly restrictive eating plan requires consuming all daily calories in a single meal, followed by a 23-hour fast. According to multiple media reports, including India Today, several prominent personalities, such as Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Karan Johar, are among those who have adopted this practice.The method has sparked intense curiosity across online platforms, with influencers, fans, and health enthusiasts speculating about its role in helping public figures maintain lean, toned physiques. While the basic concept is starkly simple—eat one substantial meal during a fixed one-hour time slot and limit all other intake to water for the remainder of the day—it has been hailed by some as a rapid route to weight loss and improved metabolic health.Shah Rukh Khan has been open in past interviews, including one from August 2024, about frequently eating just once a day. Although he has warned admirers not to copy his eating routine without medical guidance, the possibility that such a disciplined pattern contributes to his sustained fitness has kept fans intrigued. His admission has been widely shared online, adding to the mystique surrounding the OMAD approach.Karan Johar further fueled public interest when, during an Instagram Live session reported by India Today, he revealed following a one-meal-a-day regimen to manage his weight. The filmmaker acknowledged that his plan is highly restrictive, highlighting the growing trend among celebrities to experiment with minimalist, unconventional diets in pursuit of specific health and aesthetic goals.According to Healthline, OMAD is a form of intermittent fasting that limits calorie intake to a specific window each day. While the standard version allows only one meal, variations exist—some individuals consume one main meal and small, low-calorie snacks during fasting hours, while others adhere strictly to water-only periods outside their eating window.This regimen inherently creates a calorie deficit, which is a primary driver of weight loss. Supporters also point to additional health advantages linked to intermittent fasting, such as reductions in blood sugar, improvements in cholesterol profiles, and decreases in certain heart disease risk factors.Research cited by Healthline suggests fasting may lower levels of LDL cholesterol, commonly referred to as 'bad' cholesterol, and reduce inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein. Some studies also indicate fasting could positively affect nervous system health. Animal-based research has even suggested it may slow the progression of neurodegenerative conditions and potentially support longevity.While the OMAD diet remains controversial due to its intensity and potential nutritional risks, its growing popularity—especially among high-profile figures—ensures it will remain a talking point in both celebrity circles and health debates for the foreseeable future.

Karan Johar says Jigra failure was ‘disappointing,' feels a decade later people will say Alia Bhatt was ‘brave' to do it
Filmmaker Karan Johar has spoken out about the box office failure of Jigra, which starred Alia Bhatt in the lead role and was released last year. In an interview with Suchin Mehrotra, Karan said that the entire team had faith in the film and trusted Vasan Bala's vision, so evidently the failure did leave them 'disappointed.' However, he also feels that the film will be remembered as something that 'broke ground' in the next decade. (Also read: Alia Bhatt chased Vasan Bala to get hold of Jigra script; director wasn't happy with Karan Johar. Here's why) Karan Johar has spoken about the failure of Jigra. What Karan said about Jigra During the interview, Karan shared, 'Vasan's meta-referencing, quirks and style of absolutely breaking the grammar of filmmaking, such things may not always land, right? But should he stop making films like this because of that? No! He must always make films that he believes in.' 'I am very proud of Jigra' He added, 'Yes, we were disappointed, dejected and sad. But we are all very proud of that film, even today. Even now, we have a group comprising Vasan, me and Alia. Vasan has a brilliant self-deprecating sense of humour. He will make fun of himself in the most unique way possible. We still send messages on that group. Like I will go and chat about this. I do believe that a decade or two later, we will reference Jigra as something that broke ground, something that Alia was brave to do, something that Vasan was brave to contribute to and the rest of us were so brave to do. I am very proud of Jigra. There are films that I am not proud of that have failed… this film may have failed at the box office but for me it is a success story and I will maintain it.' Jigra was an action-packed narrative centred around a prison break, showcasing the lengths a sister will go to protect her brother. Produced under the banner of Dharma Productions, Jigra hit theatres on October 11.

NEW DELHI: Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of action since the fourth Test of India's recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series against England, and his absence looks set to continue for some time following a painful toe fracture sustained during the match.

The southpaw picked up the injury when an attempt to reverse sweep off Chris Woakes struck his right toe, forcing him to play through discomfort before being sidelined. Poll Do you think Rishabh Pant will make a successful comeback after his injury? Absolutely! Maybe, depends on recovery. Uncertain, injuries are tough. On Wednesday, Pant took to Instagram to vent his frustration, posting a picture of his plastered foot on his story with the blunt caption: 'I hate this so much.' But while the frustration is real, Pant has found a lighter way to pass the time — in the kitchen. Earlier in the day, the 27-year-old shared a playful social media video of himself baking pizzas, limping slightly yet grinning in a chef's apron as he kneaded dough and arranged toppings. 'Ghar pe to kuch banaya nahi hai, yaha pizza bana raha hai' ('I haven't cooked anything at home, and here I am making pizza'), Pant quipped, adding an Italian flourish to his caption: 'Impasto, salsa, forno… and me.' In the clip, Pant told viewers, 'Today I'm going to show you how to make pizza… I think I'm gonna make vegetarian pizza. With the truffle? Yeah, with the truffle.' Ever the entertainer, he joked mid-session: 'Can I use your scissor, please? Where is it? Pizza is getting ready. I'm going to wait for it. Very hot in here, boys and girls.' He signed off with his trademark chuckle: 'That's the only thing I can do with a broken foot right now. Mother must be thinking — ghar pe to kuch banaya nahi hai, yaha pizza bana raha hai.' Watch: While his comeback date remains uncertain, Pant's latest posts prove that even in recovery, he's keeping his spirits high.
